#52I’ve had one of these guys sitting around for a while - love the hardware, love the concept, but I haven’t really found a lot of use for it - what are y’all using them for?
I use the IR universal remote function to turn off distracting TVs in bars and restaurants.

Well I found that my apartment NFC key is hardened against dictionary attacks and I'm not able to copy it. It also helped me learn that my parents' garage door is pretty secure. I'm able to have the opener learn my flipper like any other remote, but not crack it. This is even with the unleashed firmware that doesn't mind violating FCC regulations (some of the frequencies it hops to are restricted).
I was able to copy my work NFC badge, but I'm not really interested in trying it out.
It's handy as a pocket spectrum sniffer, but I don't have much day-to-day use for it outside of that. I'm glad it was given to me because I learned a lot. Potential future use for me might be an amiibo emulator, but I've grown out of those sorts of things.

#54Bad actors are going to ruin this cool little device for everyone else. For every story I hear about a cool usecase for it, there's another about it being used to annoy or harm others.
Tools can be used for good and bad. This isn’t anything new and doesn’t “ruin” a device.

I countered the statement and also getting down voted. The key is to train your brain to like down votes just as much as up votes. When the number is just a number not attached to dopamine then you are free.
This just makes you disappointed if you don’t get negative or positive attention.
I never thought about that. Good point.

All garage doors have rolling keys which are non trivial to deal with unless you have pro stuff.

#58$169 is a bit steep for me, so I went on Temu and bought a $8 125KHz RFID programmer & a $5 USB-C IR Blaster. Combined with my Samsung phones native NFC writing, bluetooth, etc I feel like it scratched the itch of 90% of what people do with Flipper for 10% the cost.
The M5Stack Cardputer seems like it would scratch the same itch as the Flipper Zero.

there are people that read without voting.
you could be getting attention of all kinds and not even know it.
